        "text": "Clear personal belongings from the work area, cover adjacent flooring, and ensure the heating or cooling system maintains a consistent temperature between 55 and 70 degrees. Drywall dust easily spreads through HVAC vents, so sealing return registers is a prudent step. If your project involves plumbing or electrical rough-ins—such as during a kitchen, bathroom, or basement renovation—confirm all rough inspections and wire runs are finalized before joints are taped, avoiding the need to reopen finished walls.",
